Hoping this diary idea will help 😔

Hi there.

I turned 50 last year and had the good news from the doctor about high pressure and cholesterol and told I had to lose weight or risk a stroke or heart attack and all that's seems to have happened is it has got worse and I'm the heaviest I've been. It's like im on a self destruct buzz!

I know what I have to do to lose the weight just for some reason I can't seem to stick to a healthy eating plan for more than a few days without pigging out.

So I'm going to try to keep a diary and see how that goes. It's the one thing I've never really done before so worth a try I guess At least I'll be able to look back and hopefully see where I went wrong.

First thing I'm going up do this week is give up my 2 favourite vices - take away foods and cola. I drink at least a litre of cola sometimes two a day and would have takeaway at least 3 times a week. So I think just cutting out that should be a good start and actually begin some sort of weight loss.

Anyway tomorrow I will start so Tonight I'll have a fond farewell to both of my dear old friends !!

I used to be addicted to diet coke, when I started my healthy eating plan I stopped all fizzy drinks, to start with water made me want to gag but now I physically cant drink coke, it feels thick and just so sweet, puts my teeth on edge! I occasionally drink orange squash but most the time its just plan old water, its amazing how much your taste buds can change!

Well first weigh in today came in at 257 heaviest ever and definitely incentive to kick start the new plan.

Also got a Easter egg delivered from the take away website we always book thru. I know they probably think it's nice to show their appreciation to good customers but it's mAde me realise how much of a good customer we are and it has to stop.
